MailBot has been updated to version 15.68.

Outlook/Hotmail

Activation of two-factor authentication (2FA) in accounts via TOTP has been implemented. After successful activation, a secret key will be stored along with the account data, which has the following form: 3hmkerjjj6cw7kfi3

It is absolutely not necessary to use the Microsoft/Google Authenticator app to get the code from this key, on the “Email features” tab in MailBot there is a completely similar code generator, which opens by clicking on the “TOTP…” button.

Without a secret key, it will still be possible to get into the account using, for example, a recovery email, in this case you need to click on the “Sign in another way” link on this form:

Prompt for TOTP code when logging into Outlook account with two-factor authentication enabled

Despite this, it is strongly not recommended to uncheck the “OTP secret key” box on the “Export” tab, since TOTP is the fastest and most stable confirmation method.

The checker can now also bypass 2FA via TOTP if the account string has a secret key. If there is no secret key, but there is a recovery email with a password, the checker will still be able to authorize in the account by receiving an email with a confirmation code.

Attention! So far 2FA activation is implemented only after adding a recovery email to the account. Activation after phone number verification is planned in the next versions of MailBot.

Attention! After enabling 2FA in your account, it becomes possible to authorize via POP3/IMAP/SMTP only with app password, so this password is created automatically and saved along with the account data.

The application password looks like this: lbtmyfqaycrgsvxn

MailBot has been updated to version 15.47.

Outlook/Hotmail

Microsoft’s landing page is skipped now in creator and checker when receiving sign up and sign in forms.

This gave the following bonuses:

  1. The speed of work has increased, because Microsoft server that served the landing page couldn’t handle the load on September 13 and often went down, which led to EIdReadTimeout errors.
  2. Internet traffic consumption has decreased, since the landing page is almost 150 KB in size.
  3. Eliminated EFormURLNotFound errors at the stage of receiving sign up and sign in forms.

Fixed the problem of receiving two identical codes in a row from verification emails when adding a recovery email to an account if Rambler mailboxes are used as recovery emails.

Inbox.lv

Verification of the recovery email when creating an account has been implemented:

Verified recovery email in Inbox.lv account

Attention! If the “Verify recovery email” checkbox on the “Recovery email” tab in MailBot is not checked, then accounts Read more »

MailBot has been updated to version 15.13.

Due to numerous customers requests, a lot of work has been done on the ability to add and verify recovery emails for accounts.

A list of recovery email sources has appeared on the “Recovery email” tab:

Sources can be added, edited, deleted and moved up/down in the list using the buttons located below and to the right of the list.

In the edit window of the recovery email source, you must specify its name displayed in the list, the path to the file with the list of recovery emails with passwords in email:password format, as well as Read more »

MailBot has been updated to version 14.95.

Due to numerous customers requests, an automatic change of account passwords (passchanger) was implemented in the checker in the form of a new checkbox “Change account passwords” on the “Checker” tab:

New checker setting for changing passwords on accounts

If it is enabled and checked, then for all valid accounts the checker will change the current password to a random new one that it will generate itself.
After a successful password change, the account will be saved to the output file for valid accounts with a new password.

Attention! The account will remain with the old password in the source file with the list of accounts, the checker does not change this file.

Attention! So far, password change has only been implemented for Yahoo and AOL.com accounts. In the next updates there will be other email providers.

It is also implemented to send each successfully created account to the user’s server:

New setting to export created accounts to a custom URL

The new setting is on the “Export” tab. If it is checked MailBot will make HTTP POST request to the specified URL with the parameters “account” and “cookies” (if their export is enabled) encoded in Base64.

CapSolver API in MailBot now supports a Chinese service for solving CAPTCHA Yes, Captcha!

To work with it, when adding an account on the CAPTCHA service, select the CapSolver API and api.yescaptcha.com domain.

Some information about the service:

  • able to solve FunCAPTCHA without passing a proxy, as well as reCAPTCHA Enterprise, etc.
  • balance top-up is only in Chinese yuan and only via WeChat/Alipay and no, I don’t know how to top up outside from China
  • the balance is kept in POINTS, ¥ 1 = $ 0.15 = 1000 POINTS, one FunCAPTCHA for Outlook costs 30 POINTS, i.е. the price for 1000 solutions is $ 4.5

Also implemented in MailBot 14.78:
